I like my soup to be salty and stew sounds better than soup.

It works now. Looks like I never set it to boot through grub during installation. Sorry for the trouble.

This is a great tool when you get a new computer and you need something installed fast. But it sucks that you can't decide where each program is installed.

Have you ever installed Linux manually before? Creating each partition yourself? If so, how many partitions was there supposed to be?
Because I think I only made three. Root, home, and swap. But I found another guide that also has a boot partition, which was never talked about in the guide I read. Which means I did not make a boot partition manually, if that makes any difference.
Edit: rereading the guide I used, I may have missed a part. I can't remember if I changed that drop down menu thing.
"8. You can now review the partitions you created before you continue with the installation. Also, you have the option here to select where to install the boot loader. The default is fine if you have no other operating system installed or if you want Linux Mint to ask you at boot time which operating system to boot.
If you want another operating system to ask you at boot time which operating system to boot, then change the device for boot loader installation to your root partition (/dev/sda1 in this example). Note that without additional software, Windows isn't able to ask you which operating system to boot."
So yeah, it's my fault. Do I have to reinstall or can that be changed with the terminal?

Yeah that's what I've been saying these last few times. It boots into windows as if windows is the only OS installed. And I can only boot into Linux if I force it to boot into my other HDD in BIOS.
So is it not possible for me to boot through grub with the way it's installed?

Nothing. If I restart my computer and don't touch anything it boots right into windows. BIOS splash screen>windows logo.
If I restart the computer and go into BIOS and manually select my hard drive to be what I boot into then it goes from the BIOS screen to a black screen for a few seconds and then there's some green dots indicating that its loading I guess and then I'm on my desktop in Linux.

Just took a wallpaper I had and shrunk it down to the correct resolution. Thought I'd share.

Edited the file. Ran the command to update-grub. Got this.
Restarted the computer, it booted into windows without any prompt or question about OS, and then i booted into Linux via BIOS and it booted into Linux without a prompt or question about OS.
I also tried the the other edit, changing the number 4 to 3 didn't do anything.
What is this supposed to look like anyway? Am I supposed to get a prompt when I get past the BIOS screen and start loading into either windows or linux or is it if I'm booting into linux already. I doubt I'm missing it but it'd be nice to know what I'm looking for.
And thank you for helping me with this so far, I honestly thought it would be a simple question lol.

So I think I did it. I've been sitting here for 25 minutes wondering why nothings coming up. It put it on my desktop, not sure if that was supposed to happen. And it appears to have less stuff inside.

If 'sudo fdisk -l >> rm blk.txt' is the current thing to run first, was something supposed to happen? Besides it asking for my password. Nothing happened after I ran 'sudo parted -l >> blk.txt' either
Windows is installed on it's own partition in the 250GB drive.

Yeah I think I fucked up.
It throws this out when I use 'sudo fdisk -l >> blk.txt && gedit blk.txt'

I'm guessing that was supposed to fix the issue and ask me upon boot what OS I wanted to boot into? If so, it sadly did not do that.

No, it wasn't an option. I chose "something else"
The top default option was something like 'format drive and install'
